Blueprints to Breakthroughs: Enhancing Vaccine Manufacturing Ecosystems in DMCs

24 October 2024

The SECURE Webinar 18 is a collaboration with ADB’s Human and Social Development Office’s Solutions Development Working Group on Health Systems Strengthening (HSD-SDWG HSS), focusing on vaccine manufacturing and regulatory ecosystems. 

This 90-minute virtual event spotlighted ADB's initiatives to advance domestic vaccine production, regulatory oversight, and clinical trials in DMCs, particularly in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Viet Nam. Through case studies, participants gained insights into ADB's collaborative efforts to enhance vaccine access and market stability, addressing each country's unique challenges. The webinar explored regulatory capacity building, domestic vaccine production, international partnerships, and technology transfers to support long-term health security.

SECURE Webinar 18 allowed participants to learn from successful projects and exchange ideas on building robust vaccine production and regulatory frameworks with regional experts. This session was ideal for professionals engaged in public health, government policy, and development work who are interested in understanding how strategic investments and partnerships could strengthen health security in the Asia-Pacific region.
